Acute abdominal pain is a critical and challenging presentation in the ICU, requiring immediate and careful assessment to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary. It can stem from various causes, ranging from benign conditions to life-threatening surgical emergencies. ICU patients often have complicated health profiles, making diagnosis and treatment more difficult. Special populations, such as immunocompromised individuals, pregnant patients, and the elderly, add another layer of complexity to the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Early identification and management are crucial to improving outcomes and preventing complications [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 33.1].

摘要

Acute abdominal pain is a critical and challenging presentation in the ICU, requiring immediate and careful assessment to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary. It can stem from various causes, ranging from benign conditions to life-threatening surgical emergencies. ICU patients often have complicated health profiles, making diagnosis and treatment more difficult. Special populations, such as immunocompromised individuals, pregnant patients, and the elderly, add another layer of complexity to the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Early identification and management are crucial to improving outcomes and preventing complications [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 33.1].
